The Editors designed this book to be the most complete repository of utilitarian expertise and practical knowledge ever collected between two covers. They literally set out to “collect the whole wisdom of man” in a single volume. They write:

As the object of all study and the end of all wisdom is practical utility, so a collection of the most approved Receipts, in all the arts of Domestic and Social Life, may be worthy of preservation. In truth, the present volume has been compiled under that feeling, that if all other books of Science in the world were destroyed, this single volume would be found to embody the results of the useful experience, observation and discoveries of mankind during the past ages of the world.

In preparing a new edition of this popular work, the Editors have endeavored to incorporate all the improvements in the various branches. Much of the work has been entirely re-written, and new articles have been added on Photography, Pyrotechny, Angling, Pisciculture, Etc. The work, it is believed, will be found more reliable and thorough than any one of its class now in print.

Hundreds of cooking recipes including confectionery, preserving and pickling … a wealth of farm management and farriery instruction … a veritable manual of bee-keeping … how to brew beers, wines and distill liquors (even how to run your own private still, just like the Baldwin sisters on The Waltons)… home remedies, popular cures and first-aid … art advice and receipts for painters, engravers and lithographers … how to make fireworks, how to formulate perfumes and soaps, how to make paste gems for costume jewelry, how to revive people who have drowned or been hanged by the neck … the list goes on – AND on!

This book includes the most up-to-date information available in the year it was published, especially in regard to the fledgling art of Photography. Think about the state of Photography in 1868. America had only just been exposed (pun intended) to the power of Photography through the stark Civil War images of Matthew Brady, and it was still many years in the future before photographs began to replace engravings and other illustrations in books. And yet, here in MACKENZIE’S TEN THOUSAND RECEIPTS, you’ll find clear, concise and period-specific instructions on the techniques used to take, develop and print photographs just a few years after the Civil War.

And that’s just one example. This book presents the “latest” (as of 1868) ways and means of performing THOUSANDS of tasks and processes, from the home to the farm, to the shop and the factory floor.

MACKENZIE’S TEN THOUSAND RECEIPTS caused a huge sensation when it was first released in 1865. Never before had the press or the public laid eyes on such a colossal collection of sheer know-how, neatly arranged and ready for immediate use by the masses. Rave reviews poured in almost overnight:

The Philadelphia Sunday Transcript, December 10, 1865:

It is one of the most remarkable books of the day, containing, as it does, a reference to every conceivable subject under the sun. In itself it is a complete and practical library, so arranged as to be invaluable in the household, on the farm, and in the counting room. Pastry and petroleum, agriculture and knitting, receive equal attention, while the entire volume presents a fund of information not accessible in any other form. The thrifty housekeeper can pick up numerous capital receipts for pies, or can learn the art of carving, which is treated as one of the exact sciences; the merchant will find mercantile receipts; the artist will find a dissertation upon oil colors, water colors, and mezzotints; the farmer will learn something about gardening. In fact, there is no branch of trade but can be benefited by a perusal of this book.

The Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch, November 26, 1865:

We find in it almost everything that can be conceived of as an object of inquiry involving the special preparation of materials or the management of processes. Agriculture, chemistry, cooking, manufactures, medicine, the decorative arts, household management, and a thousand other things which defy classification, are embraced in this book, which in the way of condensation, contains enough to stock a library with volumes printed in fashionably large type … Suffice to say, that almost anything that anybody wants to know how to do will be found in this volume properly described. It has been written by a corps of scientific gentlemen, and is really a book which should be found in every house.

The Philadelphia Press, November 24, 1865:

There is scarcely a subject connected with the useful and domestic arts about which a seeker for information cannot find what he wants in this book. The quantity of information in this book is very great – so far as we have tested it we can vouch for its accuracy.

The Philadelphia North American, December 22, 1865:

Mr. Zell has gathered the formulae and directions of all the most recent discoveries in the useful and domestic arts, and has made it as nearly complete as possible. The work is designed for popular rather than scientific use, yet contains much that will interest scientific men, as well as general readers. Agriculture, horticulture, domestic economy, farriery, medicine, brewing, distillation, dyeing, paints and varnishes, metallurgy, photography, engraving, pottery, weights and measures – these are among the subjects treated very fully, and which are of first importance. There is a great body of what may be termed “the cream of useful knowledge” under the general head of agriculture which all farmers should have for perusal at leisure moments. Manures, crops, drainage and the care of animals, are all treated in a condensed manner, with directions and information which cannot fail to advantage readers. The gardener, poulterer, and apiarian are provided with excellent receipts. The half-hundred pages devoted to medicine will be useful where a physician cannot be procured; and under the miscellaneous head there are a variety of facts on horsemanship and knitting, gunpowder and book-keeping, dogs and crocheting, which could not readily be found elsewhere.

The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, December 23, 1865:

If a man be familiar with all the contents of this book, he will be an accomplished gentleman, a practical doctor, and in many respects a professional man. The work is one we can recommend as likely to be every day useful. We understand it is prepared by a gentleman well known in the world of science; it bears the impress of a well-informed mind.

The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, December 12, 1865:

It forms a complete library of valuable knowledge upon almost every imaginable subject connected with the useful and domestic arts, and is a most important volume of reference for the manufacturer, agriculturalist and housekeeper.

Obviously a collection of this magnitude defies description by a mere mortal such as myself. But, as always, I have done my best. I have personally prepared summaries of the countless recipes and receipts appearing in different departments of this book. Not all of the sections are summarized, but a selection sufficient to give you a good sense of the scope and character of this amazing volume.

Without further delay, I welcome you to MACKENZIE’S TEN THOUSAND RECEIPTS. If you have any questions, I’m always available. Please keep hands and feet inside the car at all times. Enjoy!
